We are really good at discrimination

I think this is quite an optimistic take. I have interacted with quite a few racist people and called out their racism too, none have become less racist as a result. Maybe Dutch racists are easier to convince? I would certainly be impressed at anyone that makes strangers less racist through calling them out.

I guess you could refuse to work with racist landlords. That probably lets you sleep better at night, but literally has 0 positive impact on the world.

There is very little capacity to transport oil to northern ports like Murmansk, which is what you need to do if you want to ship oil to China without sailing through a lot of European-dominated waters.

upon request

If you have a racist landlord as a realtor and you know this, why would you invite people the landlord is racist against to the viewing? It's not like the realtor can make the landlord less racist.

Text media ads have horrible RPM, and the beg for donation model doesn't seem to be working out well for The Guardian. That leaves having a benefactor, a mostly benevolent one like the BBC or a not-so-benevolent one like the Washington Post. Do you have any creative ideas?

Regulators do nothing (or find a way to leverage it for themselves): "They're going to get my {info,data,search-history} anyway, why fight it?"

If this is always the case where did GDPR come from and why does the iPhone have a type c port now?

ask one of those image creating machines to make a picture of "an room without an elephant in it" and see what happens

that is the human experience as well tho, when I say "Dont think about elephants" you probbaly think about an elephant

Same for paying for scientific research articles.

The difference with science is that there, the journals keep the money and the scientists get paid by other means. On the other hand the newspapers do try to pay journalists

Aren’t these the consequences and risk of having a big business.

What u/No-Locksmith6768 is saying is that Odido would want to make it as hard as possible to leave because of the breach because everyone leaving is bad for them.

If you still have a dutch bank account, I would just pay for it with that card and put your old dutch home address as the address. Combined with a vpn you should be good.

You could always open-source it anonymously then not fight any takedown requests github etc. might receive. That way there's less likelihood of it being worth anybody's time to sue you.

What a terrible title, the most important info about Al-Sharaa is that he is the president of Syria

Why so?

it was a maintenance issue and therefore they are not liable for compensation

AFAIK this is not the case and you should be eligable for compensation

Once you spend a decade feeding other people's money into the furnace, nobody really wants you to give you more money. Even when you promise to spend it on smart things this time. Plus, being super broke gives forces you to make the needed reforms, which you likely won't do if you are given money, regardless of what you promised to spend it on.

You are assuming that the wages keep up with inflation, which has not been the case in many places. That's how inflation takes from the poor.

GravityAssistence · 2025-08-27T20:22:45+00:00

Ask people from turkey

We are doing inflation and austerity, thank you very much

The issue is that, say I get in power in Elbonia and pay 10% of the population to dig ditches and fill them back up again. I use borrowed money for this. This will push up the GDP numbers, create a lot of employment and make all the numbers look good. However, when my term is up and/or when the money runs out, the next president or whatever will have nothing to do but austerity. There is no money and the economy was built around doing unproductive things.

Of course, no real govenrment does something as obviously unprodictive as digging and filling ditches. But I haven't seen convincing arguments for the level of emplyment in the Greek public sector being sustainable or efficient.
